About
What’s better than a natural hot tub after a good workout? If you like to reward yourself after a good workout, this is the tour for you. Your guide will take you on a 2 hr. hike followed by a 40 min. soak in a local, therapeutic ‘hot pot’ packed full of minerals. This 55 ft. tall, dome shaped, limestone crater will provide your body with the relaxation that everyone deserves. The water varies from 90-96 degrees and is fed from water that is 5,000 ft. below the Earth’s surface. Join us for this one of a kind experience. This is a two part adventure. We will hike, then take a short drive to the crater for a soak. WE DO NOT HIKE TO THE CRATER. Advanced reservations required as the crater books up quickly. The crater is about 20 min. drive from Park City. Price includes all fees and passes.
